Chapter 108 Underground Kingdom
Two whole days.
Rhodes and his companions spent their time in the wheat fields.
It was not until the next afternoon that all the wheat was harvested and threshed, and piled up into a large mountain on the open space next to the altar.
The planting area this time is almost three times that of the last time, reaching about six acres.
Moreover, with the blessing of Rhodes's harvest magic every day, the output reached two thousand kilograms per mu, which means a total of twelve thousand kilograms of wheat were harvested!
It’s enough to feed 10,000 people for several days.
The little ones gathered beside the wheat mountain, holding hands and cheering, while Augla kept rubbing his hands, looking a little excited.
"Okay, let's talk about Augla first. How much food do you need?" Rhodes asked first.
"Five thousand catties."
Ogola held up five fingers and said, "It will take about 5,000 kilograms to recover. From now on, you just need to rest slowly."
There are more than forty tribesmen left. Each member can get 100 kilograms of wheat. The life energy contained in it is more than enough for them to repair their missing souls.
"Okay, I'll give you 6,000 kilograms, and the extra 1,000 kilograms will be used to deal with emergencies."
Considering that he might not be at the altar sometimes, Rhodes distributed 6,000 kilograms of wheat to the tree spirits.
Then he looked at the remaining 6,000 kilograms of wheat and felt a little troubled.
Because his space ring is now filled with various supplies, he can only put in a small amount at most.
Moreover, only 20 to 30 kilograms of wheat are needed for seeds per acre of land, and I don’t know where to store the remaining wheat.
"Why don't we just build a granary? Anyway, there will be more and more food to store in the future." Augla suggested.
According to his idea, Rhodes would definitely summon back all the guardians under the Moon Goddess in the future.
By that time, even if these spiritual bodies do not need food, there will always be many races with flesh and blood who need food, so it is necessary to store food in advance.
Rhodes thought about it and felt it was feasible, so he said:
"Then when you and Alpha are free at the altar, go to the nearby forest and get more wood to see if you can build a few more granaries."
"Put it on us."
Augura and Alpha said in unison.
They were already very bored staying on the altar, and having something else to do could help them pass the time.
after that.
Rhodes arranged some other things and helped Augla deliver the food back.
Then he stood up and walked to the Tree of Life statue, took out a few pieces of Moon Stone that he got from the Druid's Lair yesterday, and let the statue absorb them.
This time.
The shadow of the Tree of Life did not appear.
Perhaps there were not many Moon Stones, so only a small section was repaired and there was no further movement.
Instead, the life barrier surrounding the altar became more solid, and the land area expanded from the original fifty meters to sixty meters. The extra area could be used as a granary.
After finishing all this, it was already completely dark, and Rhodes returned to the Moon Well to meditate.
……
Early the next morning.
When Rhodes woke up from his deep sleep, the altar had become very lively.
Augla, who had just returned from a trip to the Sea of Forest, was covered with little ones.
As soon as they heard that he was going out to collect wood, a group of little guys hung on him, chirping non-stop.
And Augla was like a big kid, raising his arms high with high spirits: "Okay, let's go!"
"Oh~"
Amid cheers, the Augla-brand tree spirit carriage started and headed straight for the forest outside the altar.
Two soul ravens and three first-level elemental elves hovered above his head, acting as guides.
At this time, because their level has been improved, they can barely resist the erosion of the black soil and can finally run outside to take a look.
Naturally, they were all very excited, but disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
In response, Rhodes could only shake his head helplessly. With Alpha accompanying them, he was not worried about their safety.
He stood up and walked around outside the altar. He quickly planned the location for building the granary and began to clear obstacles.
Until more than an hour later.
Augla and his group who had been out finally returned in a mighty procession. Each member carried a small bundle of wood, and they all ran back in a hurry.
"Yeah!"
finally.
The speed-type little one was the fastest. He was the first to step into the altar, jumping up and down excitedly, as if he had won a championship.
Then he brought the wood on his back to Rhodes as if he was offering a treasure.
"Well done."
Rhode smiled and praised, then looked outside in confusion: "Where are Augla and the others? Why haven't they come back yet?"
little things:???
The other little guys who rushed over also looked back, and seemed to realize that Augla and Alpha were missing.
Good guy.
You guys just went out to have fun, right?
Rhodes didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stood up and walked to the edge of the altar.
Then, two muffled footsteps were heard approaching this side, and a huge black shadow loomed.
Take a closer look.
Aren’t they Augla and Alpha?
But the next second, he was stunned.
Because those two guys were carrying a mountain of wood on their backs.
Even Alpha turned back into his original form, with a bundle of wood on his back that was several times larger than his body.
"Boom...boom..."
The dull sound of footsteps made the ground shake violently with every landing.
It was like a prisoner dragging an iron chain, walking towards this side step by step, and two arguing voices could be faintly heard.
“I moved the most!”
"It's more mine."
"Bullshit! What you have is not even enough to be used as firewood!"
"Then let's see whose is heavier."
"Let's compete. I will definitely win anyway."
Rhodes: ...
No.
Can you two argue about this?
Looking at the pile of wood that was about to bury the two guys alive, Rhodes couldn't hold it anymore.
With so much wood, it’s enough to build a few granaries, not to mention houses!
I told you to go out and collect wood, but why are you buying it here?
I'm afraid the forest has been completely plucked out by you.
boom!
Just thinking about it.
The two guys had returned to the altar. Each of them threw a pile of wood onto the ground, causing the entire altar to shake violently.
Then he looked over here as if seeking credit.
"Lord Rhodes, we have brought back the wood!"
"Okay, I've seen it..."
Rhodes was too lazy to say anything and walked over to start picking wood.
Originally, he planned to cast a spell to remove the pollution from the black wood, but as soon as he took it in his hand, the pollution on the wood quickly disappeared under the moonlight, and in the blink of an eye it turned into an ordinary piece of wood.
Even the black color on the two piles of wood next to it was gradually fading.
"Is this okay?"
Rhodes was shocked.
I couldn't help but look at the sunflowers beside the plantation and the crescent moon floating in the sky.
After two days of growth, the moon sunflower has grown taller, and the moon above it has become bigger and more solid.
Now it has been possible to remove the pollution from the trees, which has been a great help.
Otherwise, it would take a lot of time to purify so much wood.
"We are free today, so let's cut the wood. Alpha, can you help burn it with fire? It shouldn't be corroded so easily."
"it is good."
Alpha responded and sat aside to recover.
As for cutting the wood boards, that's much easier.
You have to know that this is a magical world. Even without tools, many things can be achieved through magic.
For example, there is the wind blade of the wind element, and there is also the wind blade of the wind element.
Uh……
Ok.
It seems that he doesn't have many cutting methods.
If I had known earlier, I would have asked my believers for a few more daily magic spells, and put them on the agenda after I finish these, so as to avoid inconvenience in doing anything.
Magic replaces tools to change lives.
There is a long way to go.
Thinking of this, Rhodes summoned all the lower-level wind elements and began to command them to cut wood.
Seeing this, the other little ones also ran over to help.
For a while.
The whole open space became lively.
The wood brought back was cut by the wind elements and turned into new wooden boards.
Then the little guys worked together to carry it to Alpha and the Fire Element, burned the surface with flames, and then transported it to the planned granary location.
Even the volcano baby, who was just born not long ago, was walking on the road unsteadily, holding a piece of wood.
finally.
Rhodes and Augla laid the foundation and built the granary with wooden boards. The whole process was like an assembly line.
Fortunately, Rhodes had studied some Dingmao structures in his previous life.
With the advantage of Augla's huge body, it was easy to build the first granary and store all the excess food.
Then the second, the third...
The bottom is specially suspended to isolate the moisture from the ground and prevent humidity.
As a result, after it was built, it became a place for the little ones to play hide-and-seek, running around the pillars.
"Be careful not to damage the pillar."
As the first building on the altar, Rhodes treasured it very much and was afraid that it would be destroyed by these guys.
Fortunately, after testing it, I found it to be quite sturdy, which made me feel relieved.
By the time the five planned granaries were completed, it was already evening.
Rhodes had no intention of touching the remaining wood and piled it in a corner for future use.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard these past few days, so take a good rest tonight."
As Rhodes spoke, he gave each member a freshly picked black fruit as a reward.
Suddenly the entire altar cheered, and everyone dispersed and ran back to their own nests to enjoy their food.
This night.
Several first-order lower-level elves were born on the altar.
……
Druid's lair.
When everything is quiet.
At this moment, undercurrents were surging deep in the nest, and dark shadows were shuttling between the interconnected caves.
"Be careful, the monsters have become more active recently."
"We must report the news back immediately."
"It's all because of those damn outsiders who disturbed the peace of the underground kingdom!"
Those black shadows were very strange. Although they were in the dark without any light, they could clearly identify the direction and were moving at an extremely fast speed.
After running in the cave for a long time, a large number of stones emitting faint light finally appeared around. They were actually pieces of Moon Goddess Stone embedded in the wall!
However, those figures acted as if nothing happened and continued moving forward in the dim light.
Looking through the leather armor hood, a pair of iconic pointed ears are faintly visible, revealing their identities.
It’s the night elves living in the lair!
"Suramar, I heard that you met a strange outsider yesterday?"
The male elf in the front turned around and looked at a taciturn dark elf ranger behind him.
"Yes."
Suramar whispered back.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "That outsider is very special, he seems to be the tree spirit clan that the elders mentioned."
"Tree spirits? That's impossible! Weren't they destroyed in that battle long ago?" another dark elf exclaimed nearby.
The other elves were also in disbelief, because they knew Suramar would not joke about such things.
Suramar glanced at them and said calmly, "There is also a young dragon, which looks just like the one in the illustrated book."
"..."
Now the whole team was silent.
After running for a while, the male elf said, "Tell the elders about this news and let them decide."
They had lived underground for so long and had never heard of the appearance of tree spirits and dragons, let alone the appearance of two of them together. It was really hard to believe.
As they passed through the corridor, the scene before them suddenly became clear, and an underground kingdom wrapped in a barrier came into view.
And in the center of the barrier.
Standing there is a giant deer statue that exudes supreme majesty!
